友谊不会很快到来
爱情不会轻易到来
但我知道你值得等待
我会等你
Until the day I die
是不是真爱？
是不是真爱？
我不能存在
If I can’t look in your eyes
我的生命没有精彩
我的倒影变的黑白
我没有她温柔
But I can love you in ways she won’t
我的愿望就这样
我只想牵你的手
我不想只做你的朋友
牵着我手
我担心机会已经错过
我不能存在
是不是真爱？

友誼不會很快到來
愛情不會輕易到來
但我知道你值得等待
我會等你
Until the day I die
是不是真愛？
是不是真愛？
我不能存在
If I can’t look in your eyes
我的生命沒有精彩
我的倒影變的黑白
我沒有她溫柔
But I can love you in ways she won’t
我的願望就這樣
我只想牽你的手
我不想只做你的朋友
牽著我手
我擔心機會已經錯過
我不能存在
是不是真愛？

You want to cut off my wings
so I can’t fly
Who do you think you are?
You took away my friendship
and gave me back shattered dreams
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
My heart is not here for you to break
I need to trust my own instincts
Live each day without regret
I won’t fly over my problems
I will stand with my back to the water and fight
Seize this day
(Who do you think you are?)
(Who do you think you are?)
You cannot clip off my wings
Take a step back
I’m about to take flight
relentlessly persistent
I’m not someone who gives up halfway
My Mom taught me what it means to have strong willpower
Now, watch me seize the day
These dreams are mine now to make or break
I will trust my own instincts
Live each day without regret
I won’t fly over my problems
I will stand with my back to the water and fight
Seize this day
(Who do you think you are?)
(Who do you think you are?)

Friendship does not come quickly
Love does not come easily
But I know you’re worth the wait
I will wait for you
Until the day I die
Is that real love?
Is that real love?
I can’t exist
If I can’t look in your eyes
My life isn’t colorful
My reflection turns black and white
I’m not as gentle as she is
But I can love you in ways she won’t
My wish is only this
I just want to hold your hand
I don’t want to only be friends
Hold my hand
I’m afraid we may have already missed the chance
I can’t exist
Is that real love?

Katara's Thoughts

I want to personally extend a special thank you to my executive producer Jack who has so generously supported my music videos. His support helped contribute to the production of some of my best work, and I am proud of what we’ve accomplished. As independent artists, we rely on the support of patrons who believe that art is both important and valuable in order to help us bring it to life. Thank you Jack for believing and helping to make this dream a reality.
